Hello, while trying to flash some test code, I have to run update on STLink, but the "Upgrade" button is not clickable...?

 

I have my board connected, I can see is using lsusb command on my Ubuntu...

 

"Open in update mode" also doesnt give any proper output,

Did you click the 'Open in update mode' button?

You need to do that first - before you can do the actual update.

Hello @ 

Let me thank you for posting.

For more investigation, could you please provide the Ubuntu and the STM32CubeIDE version.

Thanks.

So with nucleo board and onboard st-link it should work.

Try install/use CubeProgrammer, do the update there. (I do it always this way.)

Or just disable in IDE the check for update st-link (standard is always check).

Btw which Version of IDE you use?
